Your smile shall be bigger than the one on your profile pici Alan!!!! :)

It is with great pleasure I can announce the resurrection of the LEGENDRY BFW I-Powers has begun! They could well have been lost forever, as BFW rod building "guru" Bob Gill put down his pot of rod varnish, multi coloured whippings, and amazing skills for the last time....but....BUT!!! I have...

You're like some old "rod building Guru" living in a cave somewhere Bob! We should have organised a BFW posse, kidnapped you, and held you to ransom until the rods of our choice were built! Top craftsman and rod building legend! :)

Come on now! CHAMP (Bob ) The pressure from your BFW fans is growing.... I think you should enter the ring just one more time for a shot at the title for us all :)

Bob.... I have a few hundred quid with your name on it as well Bob :) You should produce a "Limited Edition Bob Gill Barbel Range" Your rods are magic....simply the best!!!!

That is an excellent question Mike! The way the bream are showing in the Ouse (and to a lesser degree the Nidd) this season, a very good question indeed! :)

Jrc Xlite gets my vote also. If you cant get a mate to carry your kit for you...this is the next best thing! :)

Gudgeon on mine also for 2019/20 :-)

Hi Neil, For the Swale I would go for a 12ft 1.75 test curve. Often there are high banks, and much bank side vegetation to deal with. Also the river is often up and down (needs some water at the moment! :-) From a personnel point of view you would at times struggle with anything less.

Hi Rob, PM sent. Regards, Paul.

I think there is a Heritage on Fleabay at the moment Andy!

Super little bargain that David, thank you for the heads up! Some excellent stuff comes up there from time to time :-)

Hi Ricky, I think they go for £50 -£60 on Ebay, but if you look back in the classified adds on the site, you may find one that has been for sale in the past which shall give you a better idea.

I echo the sentiments of the of the other guys on the site. We love our kit, and work hard to get it. I hope that at least your insurance pays out, but know that is not the point my friend.

Only another angler would understand! :-) Not sure if you can fix it Chris, but I can recommend the following Burns built fishing rods, quality custom built fishing rods and hand made fishing rods Chas has just re corked a Harrison for me, and looking at the Torrix he was building, I shall be...

I think your comment is correct Neil, if I am on the Ouse or Swale I have the 12ft rod on the go. Some of the swims on the Nidd are tighter than my wallet...perfect for this situation.

Hi Simon, yes, the 1 3/4 lb rod. Light as a feather, thin blank, but easily the equal to any of the other same test curve rods I own. May be worth asking about a waggle from one of the guys on the site as they are spread far and wide.

The Drum & Monkey is still going strong Simon! :-) I got myself an 11ft Torrix a couple of weeks ago, £200 factory build and a beautiful rod (great for the Nidd! :-) a fantastic bit of kit which I wish I had bought years ago! A lot of the guys on the site have, use and recommend!

For that price I would chuck another few squid in the hat, and have a new custom rod built! :-) but there again I am a canny Yorkshire man.

A shimano it is then! :-) thank you for your help and replies gents :-)
